For four months now, I have been telling myself that I am being arrested for speaking - I want to tell my children that wherever I am, you will find humanity and manliness from me, - Levan Khabeishvili, the imprisoned chairman of the Political Council of the United National Movement, stated at the trial.

According to him, he considers himself absolutely innocent. According to Khabeishvili, he has never offered a bribe to anyone, as a politician, he only promised law enforcement officers that if they "did not commit illegal actions" they would receive a reward after the change of government of the Georgian Dream.

"My children should know that their father is not a criminal and is a patriot of his country, and my children know this, but I want the public to understand this. In this case, the only thing against me is the following - "Khabeishvili said". "Khabeishvili said", is this a criminal offense? You say that "Khabeishvili said" and with that you cannot even get to the stage of examining the evidence. Today we have a lot of political prisoners, but I consider myself the only exception who is in prison for "saying". I have been charged with "saying".

I have been telling myself for four months that I was arrested for speaking. I am absolutely right, so I will prove my truth in this country or in the European court. What money, what bribe? Thanks to my children's teachers, there is one good person who, under the conditions when they locked me in prison, refused to take money from me. He does not take money from my son because he knows that his father is honest. I want to tell my children that wherever I am, you will find humanity and manliness from me," Khabeishvili said.
